Hong Kong's new giants

In fact, what the company asked Karunai was not this question, but: Mr. Lin, you seem to be very feminine?

But Karuna didn't know what was going on, probably felt that the last question was too much, so he compromised.

Lin Zuhui suddenly realized that he wanted to know about his private life!

"This question, can I ask you back?" Lin Zuyao said humorously.

A blush suddenly appeared on Karunai's face, no matter whether he answered 'yes' or 'no', this young rich man easily avoided the question.

I'm so stupid!

Karuna couldn't help but secretly lamented Lin Zuhui's cunning and cunning.

"I think Mr. Lin is very humorous and very gentlemanly. He must be very attractive to girls!"

"Thank you!"

This is gone?Karunai was confused for a moment.

At the end of the interview, Karuna was a little unwilling to leave.

But Lin Zuhui said: "Miss Karunai, how about having lunch together at noon, let me do my best as a landlord!"

Karuna flashed a flash of joy, and then said politely: "Then trouble Mr. Lin!"

Furama Hotel.

Lin Zuhui and Jiarunai sat in a corner of the restaurant to eat.

During the banquet, Lin Zuhui looked carefully at Jia Lunai, who had a capable yet gentle temperament, quite classical.Having communicated too much with female stars, Lin Zuhui suddenly wanted to try another taste.

During the dinner, Lin Zuhui talked humorously, and he was a strong man in his career with a refined temperament, which naturally attracted Karuna.

However, Karuna is not as easy to fool as ordinary stars.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, the last question I just wanted to ask is: Are you very popular with women? I don't know, now in private, can you answer it. But don't worry, I won't announce it!"

Lin Zuhui said generously: "I'm so young, and I'm very energetic. It's inevitable that I have a few confidante friends. It's okay for you to announce this issue. It's not a secret here in Xiangjiang."

Jiarunai was speechless for a moment, this one took it for granted!

When they met for the first time, nothing happened between Lin Zuhui and Karuna. Instead, they asked Karuna for a contact information and said that they would have dinner together in Tokyo another day.

In fact, Karunai also has a good impression of Lin Zuhui, mainly because she admires such a strong man, but Lin Zuhui's flair is something she couldn't accept immediately.

In addition to liking Karuna's ability and gentle temperament, Lin Zuhui actually thinks that she is like Rie Miyazawa in the Tuttos version, and also a bit like Masako Owada, the Japanese imperial concubine.

……

Once "Blue Life and Death" was broadcast, it caused a huge topic in Hong Kong. After a quarter of the broadcast (the fifth episode), the audience rating in Hong Kong has reached 48%, which is comparable to that of "Bao Qingtian", " "Legend of the New White Snake" is worth a fight.

The important thing is that "Blue Life and Death" is a completely new style of drama series. People in the industry know that ATV's "Hong Kong culture" is obviously different from everyone's "Hong Kong culture" after contacting Li Zhenxian and HOT's popularity.

Of course, the overall quality of Hong Kong's performing arts circle has improved a lot since the slogan of "Hong Kong's culture revitalizes Hong Kong" became popular in Hong Kong.

In short, with the broadcast of "Blue Life and Death", the word "Hong Kong Stream" was once again mentioned by the citizens and the media, and Hong Kong began to be proud of "Hong Kong Stream".

When Lin Zuhui came to No. 81 Broadcasting Road, the staff and artists looked at him with admiration along the way. The potential of ATV is endless, which can never be compared with TVB.

ATV's programs even European and American TV stations have come to buy copyrights. ATV's drama series are popular in Asia, and everyone has a hunch that this time "Autumn Fairy Tales" from "Blue Life and Death" will set off a "Hong Kong trend" in Asia. .

Lin Zuhui looked at the admiring eyes of everyone, but lamented that ATV's office space is too small. Fortunately, by the end of this year, the ATV center in Tseung Kwan O will be gradually put into use.

By the end of the year, ATV can almost move into the ATV Center building in Tseung Kwan O, which is a 26-storey complex with an area of ​​78 square feet.

When he came to the office, Lin Zuhui drank tea and was not in a hurry to work.

His job at ATV is very simple, that is to make suggestions and formulate general directions.

As for YG Entertainment, after the debut of the three groups this year, Lin Zuhui can let YG Entertainment develop by himself in the future, he only needs to express his opinions from time to time;

In terms of drama series, on the "Hong Kong Stream" drama series, he plans to launch "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Dae Jang Geum", and "Full House" from "Blue Life and Death", so that it is almost established. The 'Hong Kong Stream' style.In addition, ATV will also film "Swordsman" Lu Songxian version, "The Legend of Condor Heroes" Louis Koo version, "Dragon Ba Bu" Huang Rihua version, as well as "I Have a Date with Spring", "I Have a Date with Zombies" A Date"...mainly filming dramas with the theme of 'Hong Kong Stream'.

In terms of programs, European and American variety shows were still the target of plagiarism in the 90s. In the late 90s, Korean variety shows could be plagiarized.

After a while, Li Baoan, the chief financial officer of ATV, came to Lin Zuhui's office and handed Lin Zuhui a document.

"Boss, I've sorted out the financial report you asked for last year for you!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, took a few glances, and couldn't help showing a smile. The total profit was 7.5 million, which is probably three times the profit of Wireless!

The copyright income alone is 3.3 million Hong Kong dollars for the whole year.

"Is the company's expenses for producing dramas particularly high?" Lin Zuhui asked.

"Yes, last year we invested in 32 TV series, 12 more than TVB; moreover, the production cost of several of our TV series was around 1500 million, and the production cost of "Blue Life and Death" this time was as high as 1900 million. "Li Baoan said seriously.

Lin Zuhui clicked his tongue secretly. The investment level of 1500 million drama series is equivalent to the level of investing in "Legend of the New White Snake", but Zhao Ya alone needs nearly 300 million salary.

"The Hong Kong-style dramas in the future must have a large investment. The scenes, costumes, etc. are very demanding. However, these will be used as a weapon to export culture, so your finance department should not be stuck with the production fee."

How dare you get stuck in 'Hong Kong Liu', Li Baoan said in his heart.This is related to the boss's big plan, how could he fail to understand.

"Good boss! It is because of the copyright income that ATV is able to achieve what it is today. We will not be stuck with Hong Kong Stream's production fee."

Lin Zuhui nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Generally, bosses hope that their chief financial officer can tighten their finances for themselves, but I am not that kind of boss. Only with investment can there be returns. ATV's focus is on the world, not Xiangjiang."

Li Baoan couldn't help admiring his boss, ATV's copyright is really increasing year by year, and the scope is getting more and more advertising.

Chapter 431 [What a tragedy! 】

In the first ten days of January, New Times Group made another move and announced that the comprehensive development plan for the site of the Hung Hom Hok Yuen Street Power Plant, which was jointly developed by New Times Group and CLP, was approved by Xiangjiang City Planning on January 1, 1992. Committee approval.

The site covers an area of ​​more than 60 square feet (modified, real data). New Times Group plans to develop 25 residential buildings, providing 4750 residential units with a total floor area of ​​350 million square feet.Commercial floor area of ​​30 square feet.In addition, there are children's centers, kindergartens and other rest facilities. The entire development plan will be constructed in three phases.

For a time, Hong Kong and Kowloon were shaken.

New Times Group only announced last year to build two large housing estates and a commercial complex in Tsuen Wan, with a total investment of 180 billion (including the land).

It has only been more than three months since New Era Group once again announced a big plan, and people can't help but sigh: Lin Chaoren is not inferior to Li Chaoren.

Some media also pointed out that in this cooperation, New Era Group spent only 26 billion Hong Kong dollars on land supplement, and the average floor land supplement was only 685 yuan per square foot, which is ridiculously cheap.

Even at the current floor price, the price of this project is more than 170 billion, and New Era Group has once again won a very profitable project.

Lin Chaoren also learned from Li Chaoren. After the sharp fall in 12, he immediately negotiated with the Hong Kong government. This time, the Hong Kong government can only say that it has learned a little bit, but it has not been fully learned, which saved New Times Group at least [-] billion.

The media pointed out: Li Chaoren has three major housing projects, and Lam Superman also has three major housing projects, he really is a superman.

……

China Power.

Lin Zuhui came to the old Kadoorie's office. This 93-year-old man still sits in the office for 10 hours a day, and he will not retire until his death.

This makes Lin Zuhui, who only works eight hours a day (occasionally working overtime), and often finds time at noon to accompany the fairy for dinner, feels ashamed.

But after thinking about it, Buffett spends a lot of time studying financial reports every day, while Lin Zuhui only needs to invest based on memory; to put it bluntly, Buffett’s hard work for more than 30 years is not as good as Lin Zuhui’s one-hour answer sheet on paper (provided that Have capital and strength).

It confirms the sentence: Some people are born (traversing) in Rome, and some people are born as cattle and horses.

In the office, there are also the old retainers of the Kadoorie family, Gordon and Michael Kadoorie.

It seems that when the old Kadoorie dies next year, Gordon will have to take over as the chairman of the CLP board of directors. When the time is ripe, he will hand it over to Michael Kadoorie.

In fact, Michael Kadoorie is 51 years old this year, but he became a father only last year.

Old Kadoorie said: "Mr. Lin is really good at timing. Your company only paid 26 billion for the land supplement fee for the Heyuan Power Plant, which can be called the Huangpu Dockyard of Superman Li back then."

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Anyway, CLP didn't suffer, did it?"

Although the New Times Group's share is 55%, the land subsidy fee and the construction fee are all paid by the New Times Group, so in total, CLP still does not suffer a loss.

For general projects, the land and construction costs are [-] to [-] cents each; obviously, because of the land supplement fee, the Kadoorie family did not even pay the whole land.

Kadoorie said with a smile: "Of course! There are many people who have cooperated with Lin Sheng, and most of them praise you. We are also very satisfied with this cooperation."

In fact, according to Lin Zuhui, this project can be sold at an average of 7000 yuan per square foot, with sales of nearly 300 billion yuan (including shopping malls), land supplement fees, construction fees, and tax costs of about 80 billion yuan, and a net profit of 200 yuan. more than [-] million.

The New Era Group can earn more than 110 billion, which is simply not too cool.

Sceneway Garden can also earn more than 100 billion, because it is an exclusive share of profits.

Li Chaoren's Laguna City will also earn 110 billion. As for the projects in Ap Lei Chau and Tin Shui Wai, they are basically more than 200 billion.

Xiangjiang's real estate is really profitable!

Lin Zuhui said modestly: "Win-win cooperation, this is what it should be!"

Everyone chatted about the project, mainly Lin Zuhui was introducing the development plan of this project to the Kadoorie family. After all, this project was developed by New Era Group, and CLP only shared the profits.Appropriately let them know about it, which can make people feel at ease.

Kadoorie and his son are very satisfied. The development experience of New Era Group is no less than that of any real estate company in Hong Kong, and it has slightly better strength.

When Lin Zuhui left, Michael Kadoorie gave him a ride. As the two cooperated happily in the hotel, Lin Zuhui and Michael Kadoorie became friends, and occasionally held friends gatherings.

Although the Kadoorie family is Jewish, their relationship with Israel is so-so because of some grievances back then.Therefore, the Kadoorie family’s charitable activities are generally carried out in mainland Hong Kong, Europe and the United States, but only in Israel.

It is precisely because the Kadoorie family regards Xiangjiang as their base camp, so everyone can be friends, mainly because they often meet each other.

"By the way, what do you think of Thailand investing in a Peninsula Hotel?" Lin Zuhui asked suddenly.

Michael Kadoorie said somewhat conservatively: "In the past two years, the tourism industry in Xiangjiang has been sluggish, resulting in a low occupancy rate in the hotel industry, and the occupancy rate of the Peninsula Hotel is only over 7%. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to expand now? Of course, I also I am more optimistic about Thailand, and it is still possible to invest in a Peninsula Hotel.”

From 1980 to 1986, the average occupancy rate of Hong Kong hotels was 86%, higher than the international average of 65% to 67%. 1988 was a golden year for the hotel industry in Hong Kong, with an occupancy rate of 92%.In the peak tourist season, almost every hotel is "overwhelmed", and many hotels have repeatedly apologized for not being able to meet the reservations of overseas tour groups.

Because of such a good market, Xiangjiang built a large number of luxury five-star and four-star hotels in the late 80s. As a result, when these hotels were built, the tourism industry in Xiangjiang was already sluggish.

At present, only the Peninsula Hotel and the four hotels under New World can maintain an occupancy rate of more than 65%. Even after the renovation of the Furama Hotel, the occupancy rate is only [-]%.

The Mandarin Hotel was even worse, with an occupancy rate of just over 1990% in 1991 and just over 48% in [-]. (Occupancy rate reaches [-]% to break even)

When Lin Zuhui heard Michael Kadoorie's conservative words, he didn't rush to make it happen, but said: "Then keep this for now, and think about it after Xiangjiang's tourism industry flourishes!"

Mi Gao nodded happily, although Lin Zuhui is only the vice chairman of the board of directors of the big hotel, he has already established a firm foothold in the Peninsula Hotel.The main reason was that he strongly advocated the acquisition of the remaining equity of Peninsula Hotels in Manila, New York, and Los Angeles, which saved the company a lot of money.

The important thing is that Lin Zuhui is still the major shareholder of the hotel, and the Kadoorie family has only increased their shareholding to 25%, but they are no longer able to increase their holdings.

Because the market value of the Peninsula Hotel has reached 300 billion!

Since Lin Zuhui took over the Peninsula Hotel, the company's market value has remained high. Even when the stock market plummeted in [-], the Peninsula Hotel was very resistant to falling, and then rose quickly.

This situation has set up a big obstacle for the Kadoorie family to increase their holdings.

No solution!

……

1 Barker Road.

At night, Lin Zuhui was lying on the bed, feeling a little excited, because Guan, Li, and Lin were making surprises for him.

For some reason, Lin Zuhui especially likes this combination, 38-year-old Lin Zixia, 30-year-old Guan Jiahui, and 22-year-old Li Jiaxin. (above)

After a while, three beauties walked in, Lin Zuhui was stunned!

"Are you using this to test the cadres?" He couldn't help but utter a word.

Fortunately, the three women all know that Lin Zuhui is a mainlander and a new immigrant, and Lin Zuhui doesn't care if others say he is a mainlander.It is strength that a mainlander can become the richest man in Hong Kong and tens of thousands of people in Hong Kong can work for him.

Li Jiaxin was wearing a college uniform, and said in a tone full of resentment: "Brother Hui, this is the same dress as "Blue Life and Death", why did ATV write that the heroine has cancer? This drama, I cry every episode. , I heard that this is a drama series you handpicked?"

Lin Zixia was wearing a light beige fashion, which looked like a 'Hong Kong style' style. Lin Zuhui was most satisfied with her flattering bust.Seeing that she was about to cry, she said, "This drama is really tragic, but it is addictive and I want to watch it!"

Guan Jiahui was also dressed in Hong Kong style clothes, nodded seriously, and then asked pitifully: "Can you tell us, has the heroine's cancer been cured? Did the two get together in the end?"

Lin Zuhui was speechless immediately, what about the expectations?

In addition to Li Jiaxin's academic style, I have some expectations. It seems that it should be imitated from the heroine's school days.The other two women are really not attractive at all.

"How can I spoil it, this is the most immoral thing!"

The three girls immediately surrounded them!

"Zu Hui, you really know the ending, can you tell us? We promise not to spread it indiscriminately!"

"It's Brother Hui, tell us!"

For a while, Lin Zuhui felt the charm of "Blue Life and Death".

"No, I won't do things that violate the principles! But I'm curious, have all the clothes on your body been sold?"

Lin Zixia and Li Jiaxin were immediately disappointed, but Guan Jiahui said: "That's right, it was a brand under IT Fashion back then, and it designed the costumes for the male and female protagonists of this show! Didn't you say you want to do a 'star same style' gimmick, our store It's all advertised!"

Lin Zuhui nodded in satisfaction. The Hong Kong style culture naturally includes clothing, and the LEIT Group has two clothing brands that specialize in the design of the Hong Kong style clothing described by Lin Zuhui, and sell and promote them in Hong Kong.

Although he is not a designer, he still remembers some styles of clothing from his previous life, and after describing them a little, let the designers develop themselves.
